21.1.1. Full Gate Opening

The CENTURION remote controls supplied
with the D2 Turbo are used to operate the
gate.
However, most automatic gate installations
are also fitted with an intercom, which,
provides for communication between the
house or building and the gate. The handset
is usually fitted with a gate pushbutton,
which when pressed, sends a signal to the
D2 Turbo controller to operate the gate.

21.1.2. Modes of Operation

To operate the gate to open fully, the D2 Turbo has three modes to choose from
depending on the application. Only one mode can be selected at any given time.
21.1.2.1. Standard Mode
Standard Mode is the most commonly used mode for domestic applications as it allows
full control of the gate. Press the remote control button for approximately one second to
set the gate in motion. If the remote control button is pressed while the gate is moving,
the gate will stop. Press the remote control button again and the gate will go into
reverse.
Autoclose, explained on page 51 and PIRAC (Beam Autoclose) on page 56, can be used
with Standard Mode.
21.1.2.2. Open Only Mode
This mode is ideal for increased safety in multi-user, single dwelling applications.
If you select Open Only Mode, your gate will open when you press the button of the
remote control or the gate pushbutton on the intercom – but pressing the button again
while the gate is opening will be ignored. It will not cause the gate to stop or to reverse.
Only the internal Autoclose feature described on page 51 of this installation manual,
which is automatically enabled, will close the gate if you have selected Open Only Mode.
If the button of the remote control or intercom gate release is pressed while the gate is
closing, the gate will immediately reopen. The gate cannot be stopped in a midway
position and will therefore always close. If the button is pressed while the gate is in the
open position, the Autoclose timer (page 52) will be reset.
